The new ipods- thoughts?

[tech_support]

I got an iPod shuffle on Sunday. It's Great.

So small... I have to check in my pocket every 5 seconds to see if it's still there.

Sound quality - Awesome. Just awesome.

I have a sorta inverse feeling about this to ddadmin.

I have been an apple fan for a long time. But the ipods are just kinda weird, I think.

So many people are caught up in a lot of hype.

The cool factor with the ipods severely outweighs any real benefit. However, they ARE very good devices compared to others on the market still. (Though I'm not sure worth the price, considering.)

I have an ipod video from a couple years ago. It's quite nice, certainly. No real complaints. But it was pretty expensive (around $400).

The marketing around ipods is absolutely insane-- and it's working.

But I suppose it's just supply and demand-- would you do anything different if you were running Apple?

I'll be getting an iPod Touch as soon as they reach the UK.

I'll also be a Mac convert by the end of the year
